I use Burt’s Bees, but I didn’t know they got bought out.

I had a terrible allergic reaction to Avalon, though.

The Skin Deep database can be rather alarming about the products we generally use. On the upside, if you’re often overwhelmed by consumer choices like I often am, Skin Deep really narrows down the “good” options to just a select few, making it easier to choose :)

Ok — EO, Aubrey, and Korres are all on the short list. I think it’ll come down to what items are stocked at the Co-op –

Just switched from Pantene Pro-V hydrating curls to EO’s Lemon Verbena a few weeks ago. And I think it rocks: smells good, foams just fine without sodium lauryl sulfate, low environmental/health concerns (0 for conditioner, 1 for shampoo), and my hair is really soft and shiny. About $7-8 for 8oz.

Hi Siel,

I, too, recently switched to Aubrey’s after some misfires. It’s pricey, and I don’t LOVE it, but I like it, and I know it’s enviro-friendly. I like the LUSH stuff which is way expensive, and, I think, only considered moderately decent by enviro/chemical standards (which kind of surprised me.)

Yikes! Until now I didn’t know about the database, and now Ojon’s not looking so good anymore…:( But now it’s great to know about the DB — thanks.
